Our first stop in the Scottish Borders and once a royal burgh.
View one of four great abbeys established in the Scottish Borders in the 1100s. Built over more than 70 years, Jedburgh Abbey is striking for its unusual mix of Romanesque and early Gothic architecture.
You'll have time to use the restrooms and grab a coffee at a local Café.
